Import and Update

Step 2 options only show when Advanced mode is enabled. This step controls which tables will be included in the install and the table character set and collation type. The tables tab shows the original table names with the number of rows and size.

By default, all tables will be imported and updated during the install process. If a table is not imported then it cannot be updated. The update process performs a full scan on the imported table finding all old URLs and server paths and updating them with the new paths of the new server. The update process will also include all "Search and Replace" options found in Step 3.

Table Tab

These are the advanced options for importing and updating tables. All tables are included by default.

Option	Details
Import	Indicates the table will be imported into the database. This includes the creation of the table and all its data. Turn off this switch to prevent the table from being added to the database. This option is on by default for all tables. If excluding a table be sure you know the underlying impact of not including it. If you are not sure then it is recommended to keep this value on.
Update	Indicates the table will be processed for URL replacement as well as custom search and replace. Turn off this switch to prevent the replacement processing. Option is on by default.

Advanced Tab

These are the advanced options for setting the charset and collation types for all tables in the database.

Option	Details
Charset	When the database is populated from the SQL script it will use this value as part of its connection. Only change this value if you know what your database character set should be. Visit the Character Sets, Collations, Unicode manual for more details.
Collation	When the database is populated from the SQL script it will use this value as part of its connection. Only change this value if you know what your database collation set should be.
